I've recently digitized a lot from the Wizard of Oz. I've posted appr. the first half of Over The Rainbow to abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov in its own subdirectory in incoming/amiga (I believe it was WizardOfOz). More will be coming but our stupid system is having problems handling quotas. These are high-quality 27K/sec recordings. They do not come with the play program. Keep in mind that these are taken from the video tape and that the film is 50 years old. The quality of the original sound has hiss in the background, and that comes through to an extent. -- Ethan "Don't forget the importance of the family. It begins with the family.

Also keep in mind that MGM still has a copyright on the film and you've very likely not obtained permission to make these sound bites available. I know you mean well, but it would better to respect their copyright. -- Kenneth Herron kherron@ms.uky.edu University of Kentucky (606) 257-2975 Department of Mathematics "Never trust gimmicky gadgets" -- the Doctor

Yes, I realize. However none of the sounds are longer than 35-40 seconds each, which sounds like a "sample" to me, which is apparently legal. >-- >Kenneth Herron kherron@ms.uky.edu >University of Kentucky (606) 257-2975 >Department of Mathematics > "Never trust gimmicky gadgets" -- the Doctor -- Ethan "Don't forget the importance of the family.
